disable the data plan..

go to settings > wireless and networks > mobile networks > data enabled (untick)

with this, ur data plan will b disabled..

btw, ppl shud update to 2.3.3, it gives a huge improvement compared to previous 2.3.2..

btw, for those who r using mobo player, does it play almost all formats n without any issues? im using vplayer now n it plays most of the formats without any issues..
*
I'm using mobo... n play most of the format... except 720p MKV... i believe at related to codac issue as there are 720p mp4 bundled in the phone play ok...

U started to use your data package upon the 1st day u signed the contract?
Before the line is actually "activated" in their main system, normal data charges apply.
That's how u get your bill over RM200 so soon and that's why many ppl complained on Maxis.

For those who just signed for a data plan, please only start using it after 2days after u signed the plan. Else, u'll be caught in the same situation.

This might be happen... thats y before start using ur data plan... you should call the customer service to reconfirm whether ur data plan activated or not.

Haha, vibrant colours is important. Since we are using the phone throughout most of the day, staring at a washout, plain and lifeless screen is quite unsatisfying. Arc's viewing angle also seems to be a problem huh?  sweat.gif

Since ur talking about viewing angle... biggrin.gif Do u always view ur screen at theproblem angle?

well everyone got their own taste, but for my phone, i rarely let others share watching something on my phone.. i plug in my hdmi to the big screen, n there u go, c it on every angles tht u like lol..

but yeah, i do admit one thing, which is for now, the good buy is sgs2 n sensation as its a bang for the buck.. good spec..

ppl who choose arc over sgs2 most probably for the camera, n the unique design.. i choose arc mainly bcoz of tht criteria, thts all.. still got the wow factor when take out the phone n let ppl see it..

im trying to make the phone comfortable for me to use, n so far it serve its purpose with a little tweaking here n there.. im not a rich guy, so any stuffs tht i bought alwaz stay long time with me lol...

same goes to me... bought arc because of the unique design and the camera... rarely play games on arc... will only change to SEX duo.... happy.gif

this phone sux.But exterior damm nice and sleek.
the memory when startup will be as least 100mb.
I found that sony software sux compared to htc.
HTC wont lag..but the arc will.512mb is not enuf honestly.
Especially android task running at the back.
The arc quality is plasticish but HTC is solid metal and rubber.
Good built quality for htc.
HTC has dolby surround system..The arc sound system=nothing.
When u on the sound max,the arc sound cracks cheaply.
U pay same price but SE quality is shit.The back cover made of cheap plastic.

Dun be fooled by the SONY Bravia Display and 4" screen .HD oso 780p max oni.
HTC overall value wins the Arc flat.

OK... tq for mentioning the obvious thing... but I don't think u need to PM me bout this... whistling.gif whistling.gif

If there are themes than it would be interesting. Bored of the blue background theme.  shakehead.gif

Actually you can change theme... I've changed mine to be like Honeycomb (still gingerbread tongue.gif )... You can change bootanimation as well...

Xperia Arc Themes and Apps

Some changes I've done to my ARC to have a refresh looks:
- Font changer (font type: Ubuntu)
- Theme (Honeycomb Style)**need to be carefull or you will have bootloop tongue.gif
- BootAnimation
- [MOD] Enable CRT screen off animation

To change theme, you have to install Root Explorer & Busybox
